Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3634
Luoyang is [-] miles away from Chang'an, and the "[-] miles expedited" fast horse can arrive in two days. Therefore, the news that Meng Jindu's rebellion was annihilated soon arrived in Chang'an, causing a shock in Guanlong's army. But also deeply worried.

Hundreds of thousands of the Eastern Expedition army hangs in isolation, constantly intimidating both sides in Chang'an. Almost everyone is speculating on the position of this army. However, after the extermination of Guanlong soldiers this time, it seems to indicate the position of the Eastern Expedition army. It's already been revealed...

When Changsun Wuji heard the news, he urgently summoned Yuwen Shi and others to Yanshoufang to discuss countermeasures.

Not only Yuwen Shiji, who has always supported him, but also Linghu Defen, Dugulan, and other bigwigs who have been hiding in the mansion, were all invited by him one by one.

The most important members of the Guanlong Gate are all present.

……

Zhangsun Wuji rubbed his injured leg and sat behind the desk by the window, his gray eyebrows furrowed tightly, and his gloomy eyes looked out the window.The wind and snow were just beginning, and the sun was shining. It was a rare good weather this winter. There were still snow on the buildings and buildings, and there was a kind of tranquility and peace in the sun.

However, the weather was definitely not warm. The bitter north wind swept past the window recklessly.

The room was warm, with several charcoal pots placed in the corners, the charcoal fire was booming, and the ground dragon was still burning, which was as warm as spring.

There is a cup of hot tea on the coffee table in front of the individual, the tea fragrance is overflowing, and the green tea leaves are floating and sinking in the tea in public, just like this ups and downs of life...

No one spoke, only the busy footsteps in the main hall outside the door and the noise of the scribes not listening to the chanting of official documents, making this side hall seem to be isolated from the world.

After a long time, Changsun Wuji withdrew his gaze and looked at the faces of the Guanlong bosses in front of them one by one. His eyes were like knives, hiding flame-like anger, but he still tried his best to suppress it.

He picked up the tea cup on the bookcase and took a sip, then raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "Everyone must know what happened over Meng Jindu's side?"

Luoyang has been the old capital of the dynasty since ancient times. The terrain is superior and it has the spirit of a king. In addition to weakening and suppressing the Guanlong clan over the years, His Majesty Li Er has moved the idea of ​​moving the capital more than once. day by day.

In addition, Luoyang has a large number of merchants and a prosperous population, and the Guanlong families have made great efforts to manage them. Therefore, the news of the attempted mutiny of the Guanlong soldiers on the Mengjindu side and the immediate extermination of the soldiers will soon reach Guanzhong. It is impossible for these people not to know.

Even some people probably got the news earlier than him...

Yuwen Shiji felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, and said, "Although the uprising was unsuccessful, it cannot be explained that Li Ji's position is on the East Palace side... After all, he is the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, and the first priority is to ensure the army's safety at all times. It is common sense that someone premeditated to revolt, whether it is Guan Long or anyone else, he must suppress it immediately.”

There are many speculations all over the world about Li Ji's motives for bringing troops abroad, delaying his return, but the most reliable guess is that he is ready to move with heavy troops in his hands, and he will suddenly take action when the situation in Chang'an is the most deteriorating, in order to seize the greatest benefits. .

After all, at the juncture of life and death, whether from an emotional point of view, or to win over, Li Ji must be given unprecedented benefits...

Linghu Defen nodded in approval: "There is no need to worry about the auxiliary machines. Li Ji has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand, which is enough to control the situation in the world. He will not be affected by his own inclination because of a momentary anger. In the end, it depends on which side. to gain greater benefits.”

In fact, to this day, from the various arrangements of the eldest grandson Wuji and the incredible movements of Li Jing, many bigwigs who have insight into the situation of the court have already vaguely speculated about the current situation of His Majesty Li Er, but this matter is too involved, and the sky is broken at every turn. Therefore, no one dares to rashly announce it, and can only keep collecting all kinds of information behind the scenes, and then speculate on it.

But the truth has almost been established...

This is the only way to explain why Li Ji was commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, but he marched quickly and was unable to return to Guanzhong. Sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and only come forward when it is most important.

The icing on the cake is the icing on the cake, which is definitely a world of difference.

So now Guan Long has a very unified view on Li Ji, and there is no need to worry too much, as long as he is willing to share his interests with Li Ji, so that he is satisfied.Anyway, once the military remonstrance succeeds, Guan Long will hold the new prince hostage as a puppet, reoccupy the court as he did at the beginning of Zhenguan, and seize the interests of the whole world.
Changsun Wuji put down the tea cup, tapped his fingers on the writing desk a few times, and said slowly: "Li Ji's tendency is in his heart, and it is difficult for others to reverse it, success or failure is God's will. But it is not because I invited you here today. To discuss Li Ji's position, I want to ask... General Guan Long's soldiers in the Eastern Expedition Army planned an uprising, this matter is in advance, does anyone know?"

His eyes were shining, the muscles on his cheeks twitched a few times, obviously suppressing his anger, he continued to ask: "Cheng Yaojin has always been obedient to Li Jima, Xue Wanche has already expressed his support for Donggong, Cheng Mingzhen, Ashina Simo and others keep Neutral, under such a situation, if you rashly made a case of suicide, and completely ruined Guan Long's remaining strength, how could there be any chance of success?"

There was silence in the hall, as long as the voice of the eldest grandson Wuji was reverberating.

His eyes swept across the faces of the big bosses in front of him, and Zhangsun Wuji slapped the table abruptly, making the lid of the tea cup "clack", and then almost roared angrily: "The most important thing is, why until At this moment, I, the so-called 'Guanlong leader' who was pushed up by you, learned about this from the battle report? If this uprising did not fail, but succeeded, does it mean that these Guanlong soldiers arrived at Chang'an City? , will I know?"

This sentence is the most important thing.

As the leader of Guan Long, the generals and soldiers of Guan Long in the Eastern Expedition Army made an appointment to revolt, but he did not know about it, which is enough to reveal that he has gradually lost control of Guan Long.

And the intentions of the planners behind it are even more sinister. If the uprising is successful, when these troops reach the foot of Chang'an City, how will he, the leader of Guanlong, face such a powerful force?

You must know that the Guanlong army in the Eastern Expedition army is almost the last elite army that Guanlong can control, and it is completely different from the hundreds of thousands of people he hastily organized after he sneaked back to Chang'an!At that time, does it mean that he, the leader of Guanlong and the initiator of military advice, has to succumb to the person who really controls this elite army?
This is a brazen challenge to his position of authority!
The military remonstrance has not yet succeeded, but someone in his own camp is the first to play the idea of ​​​​supporting troops and fighting against each other. It is simply unreasonable!
With his roar, everyone in front of him looked ugly, but no one spoke.

The so-called "no two suns in the sky, no two masters in the country", no matter in terms of prestige, status, ability, power, etc., the eldest grandson Wuji is a well-deserved leader of Guanlong, there is no doubt about this.However, there are actually people who want to challenge the status of the eldest grandson Wuji, at least they are not willing to be subservient, and at such a critical moment, the impact is not trivial.

This is no longer a question of whether or not to challenge success, but as long as such a person stands up, it means that the momentum of division within Guanlong has reached an unstoppable juncture. A little carelessness will make the entire Guanlong alliance fall apart. .

But who is this man?no one knows.

So no one dared to speak, so as not to lead to suspicion...

Linghu Defen's snow-white eyebrows twitched, cleared his throat with a light cough, and said solemnly: "When facing the enemy, it is best to avoid internal fighting. If there is no real evidence, this matter should come to an end. In the past year, each family has the same spirit and deep entanglement, one is prosperous, and one is lost, and there should be enough trust."

He actually didn't care much about this military remonstrance, so the Linghu family didn't actually participate in it, but whether Guanlong was united or not was deeply involved.

Zhangsun Wuji was still full of anger, but his heart was not as uncontrollable as it appeared.He has been ups and downs in the struggle for power all his life. He is used to seeing the selfishness of people's hearts and understands the nature of the clan to pursue interests. He will not think that everyone should be around him. Spirit.

People's pursuit of profit is understandable.

But he must make an attitude today to warn those restless elements in Guanlong: Don't destroy the stability and unity of Guanlong!
Don't think that you can fool me by playing those tricks behind your back. If you really annoy me, you will be at your own risk!
